PJ Star article- Taylor Brown

[houstontxbrave]

If you don't anythng about what happened, how can you say the "other guy" was agitating TB. He has every right to go to his job and to a soccer game that's open to the public. Let's just hope TB learns from this and has continuing success on the Hilltop.

It is my opinion that the "other guy" by showing up at activities he knew Brown would be at was agitating Brown. If Brown showed up a Macys and looked menacingly at the "other guy" then that is equally agitating.

I am guessing but it appears that both men tried to get into each others heads at one time or another.

I am done with this, Brown is getting racked over the coals for something nearly ever single man whoever was in their 20's has done, gotten into a fight. 9 pages of he is wrong he is right whatever. The whole entire episode is blown out of proportion because it is Peoria. If this happens at the University of Oklahoma its delt with internally and forgotten about but because it is Peoria and the PC police are always out in force it is a major deal.

The whole thing was one huge much to do about nothing.

Could not have said it better. Chico in your days how would have your peers handled this? I bet it would have been a non-issue.

First of all I'm always glad when the police are out in force. Of course if people acted civilized they wouldn't be needed would they. As for in my day, and still is, if someone calls the police they respond and have to make out a report. It would be a non-issue if Bradley basketball wasn't the biggest and best show in Peoria. That's what upsets me when a player doesn't realize that. I'm with you guys, this thread is too long about something that shouldn't have happened. GO BRAVES.

probably not related to any incident at BU..

near riot breaks out at ICC
..and about 1:30AM..."a fight broke out (at ICC housing unit) and some part of it moved to a parking area across the street from the housing units."
..it involved..."hundreds of students and non-students."

[Da Coach]

Related to what?

[tornado]

seems it was the ICC vs. non-ICC crowd who had a 1-2AM feud....and now there are reports that "gunfire" was heard......

At least 4 people are under arrest and one person may have been hit by a car....


Report from WEEK says 200 people were involved and calls it a "riot" requiring East Peoria police plus.."six other area police agenices for back-up."
(some of the reader comments are interesting..)

Well, I don't know if it's any connection but their was a dude arrested at the fight that had a robbery warrant from Atlanta, GA. Brown is from Dunwoody which is just outside of ATL but I highly doubt these incidents are related. This party was getting rather large so the Commons Resident Director called EP PD to disperse the party & that they might be smokin pot. The fight & shots fired started while they were enroute. A majority of the 300 people were just arguing but a few were physically fighting and 1 girl was ran over by a car. 2 transported to hospital, 1 arrested and that's about it.

That's about it? Can you imagine if this happened on Bradley's campus and involved any athletes whatsoever? I certainly hope the PJS gets to the bottom of this and names any ICC athletes that may have been involved!

[tornado]

When something of a far less serious nature occurred (an off campus party with no violence whatsoever) the paper sought to name every single one of the over 40 athletes who was involved.....didn't see that in this story's reports..

[lefty]

I'm sure when the reports come they will find some of these guys played biddy basketball and then there name will come out

LOL sorry, just got back from Chicago yesterday and was used to Chicago crime, which the ICC incident is miniscule compared to Chicago lol. Had 4 shootings with 6 victims in 1 hour within a 1 mile radius at one point Saturday evening. 2 of them killed in addition to 2 or 3 other homicides elr in the day.

May gave been miniscule compared to Chicago, but no reason for this to happen. Looks like the gangs are trying to ruin East Peoria now. Too bad. I imagine some will say, as usual, that the police over reacted. But as I said earlier I'm glad they are around.
